this was our first vrbo stay as a family, and we could not be more pleased with our stay. our hosts gail and curlson are the sweetest, most accommodating people with the most beautiful house. the views are unbeatable, and the house was perfect. thank you so much gail and curlson, we cannot wait to be back!!!
This property is BEAUTIFUL! The view of Sapphire Bay/beach is phenomenal and Gail's place is very comfortable.There are the understable signs of wear and tear from a location that is exposed to the elements, but the venue is gorgeous. Beach is about a 3 minute drive down some switchbacks.Pool is perfect for a small group and hot tub is very nice.
The house was perfect for our needs. The 2 units provided privacy and the outdoor area was a perfect hangout area. The view was an amazing thing to wake up to!
We had a wonderful time at Villa Oceanview Kaleidoscope. The view from the property is simply breathtaking. The location was convenient to most beautiful beaches on St. Thomas. We loved every minute there and hope to be back. Thank you, Gail, for your hospitality and sharing your beautiful place with us.
This was a beautiful property. Great views, pool, hot tube, outdoor eating area. Owner's helped us with anything we needed, gave us info on things to door, overall great friendly people!!! If there was one thing that was a negative, the walk to the beach we only did once because of the extreme hill and the crazy walk . It was very difficult and alittle scary with traffic.
Celebrated my mom’s 70th birthday. The house was set up perfectly for my mom to have her own space while my husband and I also had our own space. Our favorite part was the view and spending our mornings watching the storms move in and out. Gail was very accommodating. Would return again.
The hosts, Gail and her husband Curlston, made our stay worth while. We were a party of 2 adults and 2 children, and we were very satisfied. Location, Location, Location, the property is located in Red Hook and very close to the beaches, the ferry, shopping and restaurants. The property has two levels, great for couples. All of our needs and concerns were handled quickly and professionally. I recommend this property and hope to return.
Simply perfect! Everything we had hoped and more. The property left nothing to be desired and our hosts were amazing. Always available when we needed them but gave us space and privacy. It was an island home away from home. Great location, clean, well stocked with everything we needed to make our stay perfect. An absolute must return for us.
From beginning to end, this was the easiest vacation booking we’ve ever done. Miss Gail is so communicative and answers every message in a timely manner. She and her husband hosted us and we had the most incredible time. Her home is exactly as described in the listing. We had privacy and the location was perfect. Pool is an incredible afternoon. Reward from a long day at the beach. This was our third trip to St. Thomas and on our fourth return we will definitely be staying with Miss Gail!!!
This was our first trip to St. Thomas and we loved our stay at Gail's wonderful place! The view from the patio is amazing and where I spent all my time. To get that view, you need to be comfortable with a hilly/steep drive. It doesn't require a Jeep. Our rented Nissan Versa did fine. After you do the drive a couple of times, you get used to it! I've stayed in a lot of tropical rental places and this one was the cleanest ever (no bugs)! Gail is a great host who respects your privacy but is readily available for recommendations and good chats!
We could not have asked for or found a better spot to spend our honeymoon vacation. We are experienced St. Thomas visitors and we’re looking for something Carefree and full service. Gail made the entire day as well as the check in/out process completely seamless and her husband Carlson made sure everything was running smoothly the entire time. You will want for nothing at this location and be provided with things that you weren’t aware you needed to start with! I would highly recommend this place for any duration of time and for either family or couples. It’s also important to note that the location cannot get better as far as experiencing the islands best amenities. My husband and I will, without a doubt, be back to stay at Ocean Kaleidoscope once again!
Ocean Kaleidoscope was absolutely stunning; and our hosts, Gail and Curlson, went above and beyond to help us make magical memories for our family. They even helped us with transportation as we did not have a rental car (we really underestimated how steep the hills would be!) The only letdown was the hot tub was out of order and was one of the main reasons we selected this place in the first place. We understand it was beyond their control, but would have loved having night and morning soaks. Other than that, zero complaints: Prime location, with gorgeous views and total privacy; will recommend to family/friends/anyone whoever mentions wanting to go to St. Thomas! Hopefully we will be back again; our 9 year old was ready to find a new family on the island and stay 😅
We decided to rent Gail house for our family vacation on my birthday
Everything went smoothly and greatly!!
The house is perfect for a family of 4 especially considering my kids are young adults and they like their independence so we rented both units
Very clean and there is everything you need
On a vacation of 9 days we ate at home very often because you really feel like to be in your own kitchen
Gail is absolutely amazing she knows exactly how to be a perfect host and the thing she lived above us was a great plus
Great communication and she gave us all the possible advices to make our stay PERFECT
Talking about the view from the porch ..
Is something that you cannot imagine if you don’t see with your own eyes
Wake up every morning and look outside the window make already great your day!!
The only thing you should be aware of is that in St Thomas the roads are not great so I suggest to rent a jeep to arrive to the beach you definitely need to drive ,I don’t suggest to walk by .
Besides that I highly suggest Gail’s house
Thank you Gail for making my birthday unforgettable and memorable with my family!!!
I highly recommend this property. It’s beautiful and The studio apt is such a bonus! This property comes equipped with everything u can imagine, Beach, towels, beach chairs, tubes/floaties for the pool, sunblock, first aid kit, A stocked bar!!!!! U name it, it’s there. The view was like waking up to your private paradise. The bed was something I worried about because we have sleep number beds at home, but to my surprise it was MOST comfortable!!! The host and hostess stay on the property but are not intruding at all, and u don’t even know they’re there. Was nice to know they were available for any concerns we May have had but we had none. Just one recommendation, It would’ve been nice to have a screen door or bug screen at the entrance sliding door to be able keep it open and turn off the air to enjoy the cool breeze, because the breeze off the ocean is truly refreshing! 10/10 for this property
Major set back when one first sees the place given expectations that were based on VRBO marketing pictures and descriptions. Too many items were knowingly broken. The view was spectacular.
Amazing views, clean, easy access to Red Hook and restaurants! Had everything we needed. Great communication with the owners! Will stay there again for sure!
We loved everything about this property -- the location, the pool, the space to spread out for three generations traveling together, the gracious & responsive hosts, and the breathtaking view.
We had a wonderful vacation at this home. It is close to restaurants, beaches, grocery stores and everything red hook has to offer. The views were spectacular. Very easy going hosts who were very accommodating and helpful.
